Fitness Friday 46

Here we are at Friday again. That means it’s time for a quick rundown of my workouts this week!

Friday

You guys know how I love my Friday night crossfit! Well, this was a rough one. I finished in 14:29 and was definitely feelin’ it by the end. I’m still working on those knees to elbows, but I did the best I could!

Saturday

Best way to kick off a weekend? Saturday morning crossfit! If you’ve never done a squat clean, I’m hear to tell you that they will set your legs on FIRE!!! We set up two barbells so I did 75 pound squat cleans and 115 pound deadlifts. I finished in 7:16.

Sunday

Rest day. It was flipping freezing, but we bundled up after dinner and took the boys on a quick walk!

Monday

I realized that we signed up for a 5k a while ago…and that the race is ummm, next weekend. I literally haven’t run in months. Whoops! We actually had decent weather on Monday so I decided to take the boys for a quick jog before crossfit, just to see how it went. I covered 2.5 miles doing 1/4 mile walk, 1 mile run x 2. And guess what? I felt pretty darn good! Crossfit for the win!

Then we headed to crossfit and I got my ass kicked. 5 rounds of 15 burpees and 10 box jumps after running is no joke. Since the power cleans had to be unbroken, I went light and did 65 pounds to focus on technique. I think i’m finally getting the hang of them! I finished in 10:54.

Tuesday

Any of you crossfitters ever done The Chief? It’s rough. Every round you had to start over with cleans instead of just starting up where you ended after the last 3 minutes. My goal was 4 rounds during each 3 minute set and I did it…but it was HARD. I ended with 20 complete rounds and 37 extra reps…mostly cleans and pushups. For the cleans I did 85 pounds and I definitely gave myself a nice big bruise on my collarbone.

Wednesday

Rest day. I was having a bit of a foot issue on Tuesday and Wednesday that I’m pretty sure was from running those couple miles on Monday in my non-running shoes. Lesson learned. It hurt to walk and is still a bit sore so I’ve been icing it like crazy and trying to avoid jumping on it and things like that.

Thursday

First, I PR’d in bench press during our strength session! I did 5 reps at 65 pounds! Then we did the workout above. After my success with kipping pullups during Cindy last week, I decided to just go for it and do all kipping pullups during this WOD too, even though I knew it would take me a lot longer than other people. I finished in 7:15 and was so proud of myself. I can only do 2-3 pullups at a time so I had to keep dropping down for a few seconds and then jumping back up, but I did it!

Today’s a rest day and then we’ll be up bright and early to tackle our Saturday morning WOD.

Let’s chat: How was your week?! Anybody try any fun new workouts? Leave me a link in the comments!

Congrats on your bench press PR! It sounds like you’re doing really well with all of your CrossFit workouts. I’ve heard that similar to what you found, CrossFit can keep you in pretty decent shape to run without doing a lot of running. Good luck at your 5K! 🙂

Hooray for good workouts but UGH directed towards your cold walking. I wish I had a dog because that would totally get me out more. But it’s easy to stay inside and snuggle when you don’t have a living thing begging you to go outside. 😉

I can’t believe that tomorrow will mark the 1/2 way point of my 1/2 marathon training! As I look at my schedule, it seems so close and i’m getting so excited. Things are really about to start picking up! 🙂
